Dayton levy campaign brings in record haul
Two hospitals and a health care company combined to contribute $140,000 to the Dayton levy campaign, or more than one-third of the record $384,000 total donations.
Because of cash leftover from the 2007 levy, the campaign had at least $445,000 on hand to promote the levy. Keep in mind there is a second report that comes after the election and will probably show a few more contributions.
That is a stunning figure. It’s almost double what the 2007 levy committee raised. Most of the money is being spent on television ads.
It will be interesting to see if all the fund-raising pays off with a victory on Nov. 4.

Vengence of the computer gods
Folks, sorry about the lack of posts lately. Last Friday my laptop died. After a tense week of waiting, it was resuscitated by the good people at the Mac Depot. So we’re back in business at GOTB.
